Beautiful glassy seas with a long low swell and little wind continue.. As does the drone of the motor! It is, however, lovely weather... if you don't mind not sailing! Have actually slowed down a little more, deliberately, so we will eventually close the shore of Timor at daylight (to avoid hitting potential unlit Fads) but also to hit the tides right for the final strait up to Kupang with arrival around Sunday lunchtime. Shld have left 12hrs earlier in the evening and we could have shaved 24hrs off the passage, darn it!
